The Condition Readiness Tool (CRT) is a document developed by the Michigan NBS Program to help assess whether a disorder is appropriate for inclusion on the NBS panel and the state’s readiness to implement screening. It consists of a series of required and supporting criteria related to the disorder, newborn screen, diagnostic test(s), treatment, follow-up, and NBS costs. The criteria are evaluated to determine which are met or unmet to inform next steps.
Adding a new condition to the screening panel is a complex, lengthy process that typically takes a few years from nomination to screening implementation. Once a nomination package advances for formal consideration, it requires successive reviews and recommendations by the Disease Specific, Technical, and Quality Assurance Advisory Committees that meet only one to two times per year. QAAC recommendations are then forwarded to the Michigan Director of Health and Human Services and Legislative Health Policy Committees for final approval. Screening can only begin after laboratory and follow-up systems are in place. Additional time is generally needed for procurement of new lab equipment/materials, validation studies, laboratory information management system (LIMS) integration, and development of follow-up protocols with clinical partners.
You may get TCM services from one of these providers:
The nomination and review process helps ensure that only conditions with strong scientific evidence of benefit from early detection and treatment are added to Michigan’s NBS panel.

Your TCM services will end after one of the following happens:
Any Michigan stakeholder(s) can submit a nomination package provided they have sufficient information to complete the nomination form. Michigan stakeholders include but are not limited to advocacy groups, clinicians, researchers, institutions, laboratories, and individuals who reside in or are affiliated with organizations in Michigan.
The NBS Advisory Committees provide expertise and guidance to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services regarding NBS. Membership varies based on each committee’s role but often includes representatives from NBS coordinating centers, pediatric specialties, Children’s Special Health Care Services, allied health professions, health care organizations, and parents. Meetings are held on a regular basis to review screening performance metrics, policies, recommendations, and strategies to improve NBS in Michigan. The different types of advisory committees include Disease Specific Advisory Committees, Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and Quality Assurance Advisory Committee (QAAC).
